Professor - "The FDA banned compounding pharmacies from selling certain peptide therapies. While unrestricted vendors may continue selling these treatments" If your that hard up go to an unrestricted pharmacy.
"many oral versions of peptides (like BPC-157 and Thymosin Beta 4) are not banned—it’s just the injectables."
"not all peptides are as well researched—which is one of the primary reasons why the FDA recently released new regulations limiting the sale of certain prescription peptide treatments"
Akin to US intel whining about the Biggs Amendment "eviscerating" FISA so that they can continue to spy on the public... "limiting abilities to stop... Fentanyl supply chains bringing deadly drugs into American communities"
If only the FDA and those intel tools were so concerned about opioid & vaccine supply chains.

I started down the peptide rabbit hole a year ago, thanks to several of your articles. I didn’t start with the glps, like many do, simply because I was following your research instead of the weight loss world. One of the vendors many of “us” use has recently gone dark, throwing the whole research peptide community into chaos. So many factors go into why everything is weird right now - as you point out. But the “gray” market will resurface and weather it as they always do. At least that’s what I’ve been told by the long-term peptide enthusiasts. Haha.
Drug shortages have been an issue for 20 years. I have dealt with it every year I worked in hospital pharmacy. It is however, getting worse, and more acute and affecting critical sterile drugs. A lot has to do with incentives in the generic market, consolidation of the market, globalization and no one in government taking it seriously (until the docs spoke up, us stupid pharmacists were ignored). Plus we got good at managing it most times, so no one noticed.
When hurricane Maria wiped out the small sterile IV bags we use for giving just about every med, we discovered (and verified) most antibiotics and other common meds could be given IV push (dilute in 10mL and push over 1-2 minutes). Now we don't use IV bags anymore. Faster, less risk of phlebitis etc. LOLOL
I was just thinking about this yesterday - again :(. Need to stock up on what isn't local -- first thing that came to mind was Tabasco hot sauce.... lol
My bank blocks my cards every time a Substack charge tries to go through. Real censorship!

Thanks for looking out for us! 💕

Magnesium deficiencies are best resolved with magnesium chloride, with its zero stability.
I get my mine from Bulk Reef Supply which provides chemicals for use in very sensitive marine aquariums. Seven pounds for under $30.
Bpc-157 was a game changer for a very serious condition. Ghk-cu was next on my list …
